False Lady Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]Abi[Em]de,[Asus2][Em][Asus2]
[Em]
abide, true love, she said.
Beg and stay all [Bm]night.
You shall [Em]have your pleasure in me room,
With a [Asus2]coal and a candleligh[D]t.
Light with a [Asus2]coal and a cand[Esus4]lelight.
[D]Wel[Esus4]l, I won't [E]abide,[Em] you false lady.
I will not stay all night.
[Bm]For [Em]I have a far better love, you see,
when [Asus2]I go home th[A]an you, yo[D]u,
when [Asus2]I go home than yo[Esus4]u.
Well, [E]she's lent [Em]or a saddle high
to kiss her lips so [Bm]sweet,
But with [Em]a broadsword in his hand,
she's [Asus2]wounded him full d[D]eep, deep,
she's [Asus2]wounded him full deep.
[B]Why wou[E]ndest me, you fal[Em]se lady?
Why woundest me so [B]sore?
There's [Em]not a doct[Esus4]or in all Sc[D]otland
[E]can [Asus2]heal my mortal wound, woun[D]d,
can [Asus2]heal my mortal woun[Em]d.[Bm][Em][D][A]
[D][Asus2]
[Esus4]She awoke lat[E]e in the morni[Em]ng,
just at the break of [Bm]day,
Saying [Em]there's a dead man in my bar,
I [Asus2]wish he was away[Em], away,
I [Asus2]wish he was away.
So they [E]took him by the [Em]lily -white hand,
the others by the feet
[B]They [Em]threw him [Bm]into a [G]very deep well,
full [Asus2]fifty fathoms deep, deep,
full [Esus4]fifty fathoms deep
Sleep [E]there, sleep there,
you false [Em]young love,
sleep there, sleep all alone
[Bm]And [Em]let the one that you
love best
think you're [Asus2]longer coming ho[Em]me,
[Esus4]home,
think you're [Asus2]longer coming home
[E][Esus4][Em][Esus4][Asus2][D]
[Bm]And then up sp[Em]oke a pret[Bm]ty little bird,
sit[Em]ting in the tree
[Bm]There's not [Em]a man[E] in al[D]l Scotland
[Asus2]Beloved as well as thee,
thee he loved as well [Esus4]as thee
Come [Em]down,
come down me [Bm]pretty little bird,
[Em]sit upon my [Bm]knee
For [Asus2]I have a golde[Esus4]n cage at home[Asus2]
I will bestow to thee,
thee I will bestow [Esus4]to thee.
Well, I [Em]won't come down, you false lady,
I won't sit on your [Bm]knee.
For [Em]you have slain your
[Bm]own true l[E]ove,
[Asus2]I'm sure you will slay [D]me, me,
I'm [Asus2]sure you will slay me.
Well, [Em]if I had your bow to bend,
my arrow and my [Bm]string,
I'd [Em]shoot you through the very heart
and [Asus2]no more hear
you [Em]sing, [D]sing, and [Asus2]no more hear
Well if [Esus4]you had y[Em]our bow to bend,
your arrow and your spring,
[Bm]I'd take[Em] to me wings and away I'd fly, you'd not s[Asus2]ee me again, aga[D]in,[Asus2]
you'd not see me [Am]again.[Em][Asus2][Em][C][Em]
[Asus2][Em][D][A][Asus2][D][A]
[F#m]
You
